We were saddened to learn of the recent death of Dr. Édouard Hendriks. Beginning in 2010 with the creation of Trauma NB, Édouard was a steady presence on our provincial advisory committee – almost always with a grin (and often a joke or two) before any meeting would end. Throughout, he offered wise counsel, always considering the perspectives of others before suggesting a particular course of action. Our ability to ensure great care for those with serious and critical injuries in the province has been deeply enhanced by Édouard’s “big picture” approach and meaningful contributions. Although he had recently retired, his legacy will live in our thoughts and actions in the years to come. We will miss his infectious optimism, his curiosity to learn and his willingness to help others.

On behalf of the entire Trauma NB team, we share in the grief felt by family, friends and colleagues on the loss of this longstanding leader in New Brunswick’s healthcare system.
